5 wrestlers Triple H helped to build in WWE

2) Former WWE Champion Randy Orton

Randy Orton is one of the most decorated WWE superstars of the past two decades. The Legend Killer has beaten and feuded with the who's who of legends and Hall of Famers.

He started his run in the company as a protege of Triple H and Ric Flair in Evolution.

This helped him tremendously and guided the second-generation superstar to greatness. Orton won the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships under the guidance of Evolution. Unfortunately, the greed for gold led to Orton being betrayed by his mentor.

This initial feud gave Randy Orton his first chance to be a babyface in World Wrestling Entertainment.

Although Triple H didn't truly elevate Orton the way he could have here, he did so a few years later.

The Viper got his second WWE Championship reign in the same night at No Mercy 2007 by defeating Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match.

Triple H and Randy Orton reignited their differences ahead of WrestleMania 25. Orton became the deadliest superstar in company history by systematically destroying every member of the McMahon family.

This brief run was one of the hottest of Orton's entire career. Whether as a mentor or a rival, Triple H has helped shape who Randy Orton is today.

1) Former WWE World Champion Batista

Evolution was a stable perfectly designed to make the next major stars for the company. Triple H was the leader who held the top title with an iron grip, thanks to this group.

Ric Flair played the elder statesman, who was both player and coach. Randy Orton and Batista were both relative rookies who each provided different skills.

While Orton was pegged to be the future top star of the faction, Batista was seen as the muscle and enforcer. The Animal wasn't originally set for Evolution, but he impressed enough to get a spot. He overcame injury to fit the stable and play his role extremely well.

The fans slowly rallied behind Batista, and it led to him looking more at the World Heavyweight Championship owned by his mentor Triple H. The Animal became one of the most popular superstars after his decision to turn on the Game and challenge him for the title at WrestleMania 21.

He defeated Triple H to win the gold, but many fans believed that this wouldn't last.

However, Batista showed that he had Triple H's number. The Guardians of the Galaxy star defeated the Cerebral Assassin at Backlash 2005 and then in a Hell In A Cell Match at Vengeance 2005 to truly show his dominance.

This was Triple H making a bonafide legend before the fans' eyes. That's why Batista is the biggest wrestler Triple H helped to build in WWE.
